Elbaf Sanji New Power

Elbaf Sanji New Power Sanji in the first few chapters of  Elbaf has demonstrated his new power up,   but it is something that appears in only one  small panel and can be very easily missed. Do you see it? It is the fact that Sanji is capable of doing  Ifrit Jambe while his eyebrows are normal. This is actually way more important than you might think at first glance.

What is Sanji’s latest power up?


After Sanji first awakens his Germa enhancements on Wano, his eyebrows are always inverted whenever he uses this power, but this is clearly not the case in this Elbaf scene. The way Sanji describes his own powers, his enhancements made his body stronger and allowed it to support hotter flames, which was how he was  able to upgrade Diable Jambe into Ifrit Jimbe.

The fact that Sanji on Elbaf is able to do Ifrit without his enhancements can only mean one thing:   Sanji’s normal body has gotten so strong that it can now handle much hotter flames. I understand that it is hard to tell  because the image is black and white,   but Sanji is very clearly doing  Ifrit Jambe in this Elbaf scene.

Is Sanji superhuman now?

This is because of the crackling effect on his leg. When doing the research for this video,  I tried to look at as many Diable Jambe scenes that I could find in the manga, and  I genuinely could not find any of them where   Sanji’s leg had this same crackling effect,  meaning that this is very clearly Ifrit.

What this means is that Sanji’s regular body  and Armament Haki have gotten so strong by   Elbaf that he no longer even requires  the Germa exoskeleton to go Ifrit. This makes a lot of sense, as Ifrit Jambe  was Elbaf Sanji New Power never a Germa power in the first place,   but something Sanji himself said  that he could have potentially done   even before Wano if his body  had just been strong enough.

The really interesting thing here however is that   this could all hint at Sanji getting  an even bigger power up later in Elbaf. If Sanji is able to now do Ifrit without  his enhancements, could he potentially conjure even Elbaf Sanji New Power hotter flames than Ifrit if  he actually activated his exoskeleton? As brought up earlier, Sanji’s normal  body and Armament Haki have by Elbaf   gotten so strong that he can perform Ifrit  Jambe without the need of his exoskeleton.

On paper, this means that if Sanji  also activated his exoskeleton,   he would be able to conjure  flames even hotter than this. Granted, we actually did already see Sanji using  his enhancements in his fist scene on Elbaf,   where the Ifrit Jambe he does on the giant  cat is performed with his eyebrows inverted.

It could be that right now, Sanji is  only able to do basic Ifrit attacks   without the enhancements, but needs Elbaf Sanji New Power the exoskeleton to do named attacks. Considering how fast Sanji grows however, it  could only be a matter of time before he showcases   In real life, flames are at  their hottest when they are blue.

This may not necessarily mean that Sanji has  reached his peak with his fire abilities however. One Piece often takes concepts from real  life, but then goes its own way with them,   such as with Akainu claiming that  his magma is hotter than Ace’s fire,   which goes against how these  elements work in reality.

If the story needs a new visual cue  for Sanji getting hotter flames,   it could be that we’ll see him creating  Elbaf Sanji New Power fire that is neither red or blue. One interesting option could  be flames that are pure white. This could actually be a  pretty neat visual choice,   since the color of Luffy’s sun god form is also  white, representing the true color of the sun.

Sanji being one of Luffy’s  wings and having pure white   flames as his ultimate ability could  therefore actually be very fitting. It could also make perfect sense for Sanji  to unlock this ability in Elbaf of all arcs. Elbaf is where One Piece’s Sun God Nika  originates from, and the question of who   is the real Sun God has already been  set up to play a big role in this arc.

Another important theme in the Elbaf  arc could also end up being fire itself. When meeting Luffy, Loki said that he  plans to bring about the end of the world. This is likely a reference to Ragnarok,  the end of the world in Norse mythology,   where one event that is described is the  fire giant Surtr engulfing the world in fire.


What inspiration the manga is going to take  from Norse mythology still remains to be seen,   but it could still be that fire  will play a key role in the arc. If nothing else, Surtr Jambe could be a cool  thematic name Elbaf Sanji New Power for Sanji’s next power up. There’s certainly also other paths the story could   take with Sanji’s powers than  just different color flames.


It could for example be possible that Sanji would  be able to conduct electricity through his leg,   which he arguably is already  kinda doing with Ifrit Jambe. This would actually line up pretty  well with his Germa enhancements,   where Niji, Sanji’s brother, is able  to produce electricity from his body.

Niji is also able to do this  even without his raid suit,   hinting that this is a purely genetic ability. Sanji mastering electricity could be  a pretty good addition to his arsenal,   as elemental powers can be  very beneficial in One Piece. For example, electricity would  give Sanji the upper hand against   any enemy Fishmen the crew might still encounter.


Sanji has also had plenty of personal  experience with fighters who use electricity,   so he’s likely well aware of  how useful it is in combat. One thing to note is that even though  it’s been almost 20 years since they   were introduced to the story, we still do not  really have an explanation on Sanji’s flames.

In fact, Sanji himself does  not understand it either. When Queen questions Sanji about how he is able  to produce flames, Sanji’s only explanation is   that they are the flames of his passion,  which Queen thinks is a laughable reason. Because Sanji’s lineage is still a mystery,  his potential powers are pretty limitless.

This is because the lineage factor, One Piece’s  version of DNA, can theoretically be manipulated   to a point where it can grant the person  any special ability seen in the story. Sanji’s lineage factor could in  theory be based on Lunarians,   or if you want to go even more wild, on one of  the fantastical animals of the One Piece world.


We for example already know that dragons did  genuinely exist in the world once upon a time,   which could hint that many of the Mythical Zoans  were once creatures that inhabited the planet. Personally though, no matter how Sanji  is going to evolve in the future,   I hope his fighting style doesn’t  stray too far from where it is now.


This is because Sanji’s fighting  style already fits his story so well. The man who originally taught Sanji how to  fight is Zeff, and even though he didn’t   teach them to him, Zeff’s influence can  still be seen in Sanji’s fire abilities. When Sanji first used Diable Jambe  on Jabura back in Enies Lobby,   he relates it to cooking, saying that god  creates food while the devil creates spices.


Like many of Sanji’s fighting techniques,  this relates to him being a cook. Even something like the evolution of Diable  Jambe to Ifrit Jambe can be compared to   something like the kitchen stove, where the  flame is blue when it is at its hottest. Heat control is also often said to be one of the  most important skills to have when making food.


Chefs are also sometimes popularly  compared to hell and demons because   of how demanding the environment  of a professional kitchen can be. This all pretty much describes Sanji to a T.  As far back as his first fight in the story,   Sanji has made it clear that a  cook should not be afraid of fire. He refers to his flame abilities  as being literally demonic,   and Ifrit itself is the name of a  demon that appears in the Quran.

Sanji also often compares  his fights to preparing food,   and this can also be seen in him essentially  cooking his opponents with some of his attacks. While we nor Sanji himself do not know  what the reason behind his fire is,   it seems pretty clear that Sanji bases his  abilities on his time working under Zeff,   which makes perfect sense as Baratie is  literally the restaurant of the fighting cooks.

The reason why Sanji originally joined Luffy is   because he wants to fulfill both his  and Zeff’s dream, so at least to me,   it would be cool if he completed his journey  mainly relying on the skills Zeff taught him. I realize that Sanji is not the first  character who probably comes to people’s   minds when they think about who on  the crew will get focus in Elbaf.


I however think he has a lot of  potential in the arc, and think   the arc could actually be really important  for several Straw Hats, not just Usopp. If you’re interested, you can click  here to watch my other video on why,   even moreso than Sanji, Elbaf could  be a really important arc for Zoro. As always, thanks a lot for  watching this video to the end.
